The Samurai Chestplate is a key piece of the early-game Samurai armor set in Roblox The Forge. While it’s eventually outclassed by heavier armor, it provides a significant defense boost for players progressing through the mid-game. Crafting it requires specific knowledge, as using the wrong amount of materials or forging in the wrong location will result in failure. This guide provides the complete recipes and strategies for crafting your Samurai Chestplate successfully.
Samurai Chestplate Overview and Forging Rules
Before you gather materials, you must understand two critical rules for crafting this armor.
The 21-Ore Requirement
The Samurai Chestplate has a fixed material requirement: you must use exactly twenty-one (21) ore in the recipe. Using more or less than this amount will drastically lower your success chance, likely resulting in a weaker Medium Chestplate instead.
The Correct Forging Location
You cannot craft the Samurai Chestplate at the starting area, Stonewake’s Cross, as it lacks an advanced forge. The only location where you can successfully forge this item is in the Forgotten Kingdom.
The base success chance for crafting the Samurai Chestplate at the correct forge with 21 ore is 50%. Using the recipes below increases your success multiplier.
The Forge Samurai Chestplate: Complete Recipes
Here are the proven recipes, organized for different stages of the game.
Early Game Samurai Chestplate Recipe
This recipe uses ores commonly found in the Ruined Caves by mining Basalt Rocks. It’s the most accessible recipe for new players.
5 Gold Ore
5 Titanium Ore
5 Platinum Ore
6 Tin Ore
Total: 21 Ore
Success Multiplier: 0.75x
This multiplier is below 1x, meaning it doesn’t increase your base 50% chance. However, it is the standard recipe to successfully create the chestplate with basic materials.
Mid Game Samurai Chestplate Recipe
This recipe uses higher-tier ores, primarily found from Basalt Cores. It offers a much better success multiplier and has the potential to grant the armor special traits, such as Vitality.
5 Uranium Ore
5 Mythril Ore
5 Eye Ore
6 Obsidian Ore
Total: 21 Ore
Success Multiplier: 3.17x
The inclusion of Eye Ore, a rare material, is what enables the chance for additional traits on the final crafted item.
Late Game / Cosmetic Samurai Chestplate Recipe
By the late game, the Samurai (Medium) Chestplate is not strong enough for areas like the Volcanic Depths. Therefore, this high-tier recipe is considered cosmetic, allowing you to craft a visually impressive version of the armor using the rarest ores.
7 Darkryte Ore
7 Demonite Ore
7 Eye Ore
Total: 21 Ore
Success Multiplier: 5.27x
Using Demonite Ore alongside Eye Ore further increases the potential for powerful traits, making it a trophy craft for dedicated players.
Why Craft the Samurai Chestplate?
While it is an early-game armor, the Samurai Chestplate serves important purposes:
Progression Gate: It is a necessary upgrade to survive and progress into mid-game areas.
Defense Boost: It provides substantially more defense than basic light armor.
Trait Potential: Using mid and late-game recipes allows you to craft a version with valuable traits, making it useful for longer than its tier suggests.
FAQ: Crafting the Samurai Chestplate
Q: Why did I get a Medium Chestplate instead of a Samurai Chestplate?
A: This happens if you did not use exactly 21 ore, or if you attempted to craft it at the wrong forge (not in the Forgotten Kingdom).
Q: Can I get traits with the early game recipe?
A: No. The early game recipe uses common ores and does not carry a chance for traits. You need to include at least Eye Ore (like in the mid-game recipe) for a chance at traits.
Q: Is the Samurai Chestplate good for the Volcanic Depths?
A: No. It is a Medium armor class and is not sufficient for late-game areas. You will need a Heavy Chestplate for that content.
Q: Where do I find Eye Ore and Demonite Ore?
A: These are rare ores typically found in later zones and from special mining nodes or boss drops. Eye Ore can sometimes be found in Basalt Cores, while Demonite is rarer.
Q: Does a higher multiplier guarantee success?
A: No. The multiplier increases your chance from the base 50%. A 5.27x multiplier gives you a very high probability, but due to game mechanics, it is not an absolute 100% guarantee.
Conclusion
Crafting the Samurai Chestplate in The Forge is a straightforward but precise process. Remember the golden rules: use exactly 21 ore and craft it only in the Forgotten Kingdom. Choose your recipe based on your progress—the early game recipe for your first craft, the mid-game recipe for a better chance and potential traits, or the late-game recipe for a cosmetic showpiece. By following this guide, you’ll efficiently add this essential armor piece to your set and continue your journey deeper into the world of The Forge.
